Well, dear bloggers, we have far too few plants and far too much time to care for them, so, of course, each one is very important indeed. Most are doing very well with lots of new growth, though the primrose we bought in the winter did not survive the winter. Hmm. Anyway, we thought that dear Fushia was past tense, and went looking for a replacement last week. No luck - the frost hardy ones don't really start growing until after the frosts... Hmm. Our Fuschia was/is a frost hardy variety like the one (then ones - we propogated) we had in Rectory Road. Hmm. Could she be sleeping and not dead? Ah ha! Like Cinderella, but kissed by the warm sun and not a Prince, our Fuschia is indeed coming to life. We are thrilled. Sad, but there we are.
As you might have guessed, we are still moored up in Blue Haven. We have much research work to do and need to be absolutely sure of our electricity for the computers. And we are now on FAT band. We got a new dongle from Orange after our searches revealed that Blue Haven is a blue hole of 2G in Vodoafone's otherwise red 3G coverage in Rugby. This allowed us to cancel a contract and go to a better provider. So we have a pink (Orange) dongle. Wait for it - called Princess. Long story, but the pink reminds us of a wonderfully full of life work colleague who goes for any technology going in pink and calls herself Princess. We upgraded the remaining Vodafone dongle to more memory and lower price. He is called Vladimir. (Please sit down for this, the painful reason why. Vladimir - V - Vodafone. Vladimir Putin - put in - put in the side of the computer.) On this note, we'll leave you to be ill quietly.
